- About The Spectacular Two Stone Turquoise Ring
Sterling silver sheet, mill rolled and two smelted "rain drops" were used in fabricating this ring to showcase two large natural blue turquoise hand-cut cabochons.
These stones display an aesthetically pleasing matrix, transitioning from red/ brown to blue "water web", a rate and highly desirable effect !
Pear-shaped stone measures 1" X 5/8". Tapered free form stone is 15/16" X 9/ 16".
- About Joe Tsosie
- This 20th century Navajo jeweler is not covered in the standard hallmark books or in Schaaf's American Jewelry I publication because he is routinely under the radar. Joe Tsosie does not participate in Indian markets. Often he works for others, like a backup singer. His work, however; is entirely compelling in its quality of execution and its unique composition. He enlists the finest quality natural materials to boot!
